Artist
Hao Liang
The imaginary scenarios in Hao Liang’s work often suggest certain “moments” and “awareness”,and the intrinsic qualities of Chinese ink painting were what decided that its orientation would be “abstract,” concerned not with representation but rather comprehension. Approaching the world from an animistic spiritual perspective, the artist looks for a poetic art form resembling the use of synaesthesia in literature. In this form, whether from a macro or a micro perspective, the allegories and the human longings, the appearance of plants and the fading of time, the trajectory of planets and the spiritual texture of tangible objects, echo and integrate magically with one another. The artist may gain his inspirations from a poem that occasionally comes to him, or from living beings that he encounters in reality. The twinkling light, the flooding emotions, the looming images, the world of languages, colors and lines that we see and experience in his art become inextricably intertwined—they are all part of the theatre of enlightment.

Artist
Zhou Tao
In the scorching heat of the desert, where the ground is blistering and the air thick with pervasive sand, an ‘infrastructure’ project unfolds in the unforgiving natural environment. The scale of this endeavor is so immense that the individuals navigating through it appear minuscule in comparison. Within the haze of sand and dust, those who have relocated for the construction of the infrastructure, returning from a day’s toil, find their way back to the tented area hastily assembled. In Zhou Tao’s film “The Periphery of the Base”, the lens of the camera navigates through rudimentary living spaces and the comforting presence of family. Behind the scenes of infrastructure, the daily routine with pots and pans materializes like a mirage. The camera’s eye, constantly worn down by the persistent dust, suddenly loses its usual ability to discern light and shadow. Nevertheless, it persists in its attempt to capture, to the point where it seizes the abstract interplay of light and shadow in this world. The light itself becomes akin to etched marks on the virtual canvas of digital imagery, leaving behind traces and lingering impressions.
